The clue is in the term "Human Resources". I can't believe people just accept the existence of this phrase.
Yeah. And "human capital" is another one that just makes my skin crawl.
FWIW, there are a bunch of folks trying to shift the practice over to "People Ops", while refering to employees as actual people, which is way better. As a bonus, this gives the formerly called HR people a more meaningful scope for their work.
That said, the name or the idea does't keep some from whitewashing or running with PeopleOps as a kind of virtue signal. Consider this article that minces all of this together while making it sound normal: https://peoplemanagingpeople.com/articles/rise-of-people-ops/
Agreed, but please remember that this is the same under fascism and communism.
